Where it came from
The Palkia card, numbered 11/100, was released in the Majestic Dawn expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in May 2008. As a key installment of the Diamond & Pearl series, the set introduced players to the Legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region. Palkia, known as the Spatial Pokémon, was featured prominently during this era to capitalize on the popularity of the Pokémon Pearl video game, serving as a powerful Water-type addition to competitive decks of the time.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is widely recognized for his distinctively dynamic and vibrant style within the franchise. Saitou’s depiction of Palkia captures the creature's immense scale and its mastery over space, utilizing the holographic foil treatment common to the Rare Holo cards of the Majestic Dawn set. The design was well-received by collectors for its polished aesthetic and its utility in the game's evolving competitive meta, remaining a nostalgic staple for those who began their collecting journey during the late 2000s.
